Step-by-Step Instructions for Blue Raspberry Lemonade

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar fully dissolves, which should take about 5 minutes. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
Pour the cooled simple syrup into a large pitcher. Add 1 cup of blue raspberry syrup and 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, stirring until well combined.
Add 3 cups of cold water to the pitcher, adjusting for sweetness and tartness. Mix thoroughly and fill with ice cubes. Let the lemonade sit for a few minutes before serving.
Slice a lemon into thin rounds and float a few lemon slices on top of the lemonade for garnish.
Pour the Blue Raspberry Lemonade into tall glasses filled with ice. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

To ensure maximum lemon juice yield, microwave lemons for 10-30 seconds before rolling them. Store any leftover lemonade in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
